Hi Chris,
to adjust the memory cheek piece:
1. just press the button to the first rest --> the cheek piece jumps out
2. press further to the second rest and hold it like this --> the cheek piece will jump to the maximum
3. while still holding the button pressed in completely now adjust the cheek piece to your required position and let the button go
4. the memory mechanism is now set to this poistion --> when you got your setting only use the first stage of the button for the use of the cheek piece
Sebastian D so the instructions say😉
Great review and thanks for the long detailed video. Ive been a proud owner of an R8 owner in 308 for the past 8 month, they are a phenomenal piece of kit, extremely safe and accurate. seriously thinking of getting a new barrel in a smaller caliber.
Hi Chris...Well let me tell you...The way you present your videos is fantastic. ! So informative, and such a great knack of explaining all the features and benefits of each of your reviewd products. Great job! Now I have to take the soda bottles back to save up for a Blaser R8 :) Kindest regards, keep up the great work!
Wow, thanks!
I have always used winchester super x in my old bruno and with some old ammo of 3 years ago it will do a one hole 5 shot groop at 50 yards, Just bought 500 rounds of new winchester super x and it is crap . you can get 3 in one hole then 1 two inches away and then the forth back in the groop again. Will not be buying that ammo again.
Good reviews, Keep it up Chris
Another great review, will be adding the rimfire barrel and bolt to my wish list, Got to love the Blaser😉
Great video,mine just arrived in rfd today in .243,thanks for the complete info on it 👍
another great review.need to put this one on my wish list
Great review! I have been thinking about buying one myself, but can't decide between to have a different rifle or have to switch barrels etc every time I want to shoot a .22...
A small tip though is that you talk about the speed with the pistol grip. You don't need to remove the thumb, just cycle the rifle with your other fingers. It makes it faster and easier to stay in a comfortable grip!
Alfred Johnsson have you shot driven boar? Fast secure gun handling is crucial and unless you have finger like E.T., i can imaging cycling the bolt with permanent grip?
@@chrisparkin431 Hahaha my fingers are short so not even close to E.T! I agree about gun security is number one priority, but for me cycling the rifle works perfectly without any real downside with the thumb still in the pistolgrip imo. For me it even helps me to stay on target and keep a good grip on the rifle. I have not had the time to hunt driven boar yet since i recently bought it though....
All i do is use my index and middle finger to cycle the bolt while my thumb stays in the pistol-grip, quick motion and it works really well!
I have been making excuses not to buy an R8. With this they hit on one of my weaknesses. I love shooting 22lr. It looks like I will need to stop by my local dealer
Good video i got myself a 6.5x55 as a Xmas present i love it
Great video well done. Too heavy for me (thank god) Has to be 7.5 lbs all up and 13.25" L.O.P.. I will not compromise. The carbon is doable but wow the price is way way beyond my pay grade
Cool barrel system, but I will never trade my Sakos and Tikkas
We love our Blasers. Still looking for a threaded rimfire kit. All our dealers in the US are sold out.

Marky
Hi Chris. Great review and video. What is the name and brand of the moderator you are using in the video? I have not been able to find a little and light .22lr moderator that fits the specs of a Blaser Rimfire.
I think it was a DPT
Cheers Mate!
Very nice rimfire rifle 👍🇨🇦✌️
On that intro picture you're holding a mauser m12, any chances we get to see that on video sometime ? :)
That was and M12 in Laminate stock, was years ago, I still have an M12 Extreme though!
I enjoyed that Chris and as someone who hasn't bought into the Blaser system (yet! 😁) you will be a good person to ask..
Already have an R8 Pro success with 6.5x55, 22-250 and 300wtby barrels... I'm in the market to change my browning t-bolt rimmy (inaccurate, horrid trigger.. I could go on!).. Was considering pushing the boat out and px-Ing for an anschutz but your vid got me thinking..
If I went for the Blaser 22 conversion I would have more trigger time with my beloved 😊 could swap my NV straight onto it for the bunnies and, it would appear from your review, get me a very accurate 22 to boot for around the same cost.
My mate (who is also a Blaser owner) says I shouldn't do it and should stick to having separate rifles but I'm swaying the Blaser way!!
Your thoughts and input would be appreciated.
Paul
I think that would be a hard option to ignore in your situation
Have a Success mono (LH Wood) with 204 Ruger, 6.5 x 55 and 308 Added a .22lr conversion and it really makes the set! Yes, they cost silly money but they are just soooooo nice!
great!
Nice gun ,but if i had the choice between that and an anschutz 1416/17 i would take the anschutz
❤
Nice...
Very cool weapon!
Hi Chris. Could you please let me know what silencer was on it ? Thanks
I cant remember, sorry
Verygood
Nice 👍👍👍👍
I want one!
Bună seara cât costă o armă?
Perfect Gun.. where are we can buy this Rifle?
From your Country's Blaser distributor and local dealer
No I will stick to my CZ LRP With the K.I.S.S bolt
How many blaser R8 ultimate gun/pcs ?
Sorry, no idea what you mean
How much in u s dolar
Como comnprar esse equipamento???
Why the vigorous slamming of the bolt action?
Mike MacDonald to illustrate the speed of a Blaser, also speed of inherent bolt momentum causes less rifle movement than a slow mechanical push. It's not deliberate, it just develops naturally with Blaser rifles unless decreasing noise is a priority when hunting.
@@chrisparkin431 Oh OK!
How much is it now?
Read description
How do you buy one of these? I can't actually find where they are sold, or what the price is for that matter.
Kali Das ask the Blaser agent for your country
😀😀😀😁😁😁😃😃😃verygood
Whats this price in India .And Can I buy it with out license
Absolutely no idea what the price and laws are in India
👍😎🇺🇲
When you getting back on the pulsar digex??
Jason Myers it went back several weeks ago, the footage has gone to be edited but lockdown has affected them and they haven't published it yet so it's out of my hands. The Night Vision Show is where to look
Chris Parkin ok mate did you enjoy it?
Excellent matey
Jason Myers the Digex is a great item but actually needs more consideration of illuminator choice than the item in it's own right.
Chris Parkin I’ve got the wraith IR from ludicrous lumens what a piece of kit easily see 500-600 yards
Muy exagerado el magazine!
How can buy this if i stay in Indonesia
Cipacing mngkn bisa buat oom ;-0
Tp bukan yg angin oom bs tdk
Slowly using that rifle man 😆 , be calm
not useful!
